PhonePe boosts security with digital tokenization for safer online payments

Fintech business PhonePe has introduced a device tokenization solution to increase the security of digital payments for its customers. This will further simplify transactions.

PhonePe Tokenized Payments: India is always ahead of the curve regarding digitization. The nation’s use of digital payments has increased dramatically. PhonePe has now introduced a device tokenization solution for credit and debit cards, revolutionizing digital payments. With its assistance, consumers may pay their bills, recharge, book tickets, buy insurance policies, and shop via PhonePe more safely online. Additionally, this will facilitate payments and lessen online fraud. 

Device tokenization: what is it?

Tokenization is the process of substituting a token for your credit or debit card information, according to the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) frequently asked questions on device-based tokenization. Device tokenization is a safe technique that creates a unique token from your credit or debit card information. Furthermore, this token will only be usable on the device that generated it. This keeps the payment safe and lowers the chance of fraud and data leaks.

What are the advantages of it?

Transactions will be accelerated via PhonePe’s tokenization. Checkout dropoff will decrease as a result. Additionally, users won’t have to repeatedly enter their card information. Additionally, if OTP and CVV are not entered, the payment success rate will rise. Additionally, this will enable merchants to benefit from the expanding tokenized card network. PhonePe initiated the tokenization process for Visa credit and debit cards in the first phase. It will eventually incorporate additional card networks, such as American Express, Rupay, and MasterCard.
